#05 - Chute rotation is difficult.

POSSIBLE CAUSES :

a) Dirt or ice may be underneath chute.

b) The base of the chute may be damaged or bent.


CORRECTIVE ACTIONS :

a) Clean the base of chute & the rotation ring. Lubricate chute inside & out and the rotation worm. Clean parts, lubricate & re-install. Make sure the retaining plates are not too tight on the chute base, it may be the reason why the chute is not turning freely.

b) Dismount the chute by removing the retaining plates. Verify that the base of the chute is very even and not bent in a corner, if so, straighten.

#06 - The chute blocks-up easily with snow.

POSSIBLE CAUSES :

a) Tractor engine R.P.M. is too slow.

b) Advancing too quickly with snowblower.


CORRECTIVE ACTIONS :

a) Always have tractor engine at full R.P.M. when using the snowblower.

b) Reduce speed. Allow snowblower to ingest snow at its own speed.

#07 - Snowblower digs into ground.

POSSIBLE CAUSES : Ground is not frozen or too soft.
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS :

Adjust skid shoes lower so they may better support the snowblower. If problem persists, change skid shoes for heavy duty skid shoes (option #700243) which cover more surface and prevents snowblower from digging into the ground.

a) Rear tire pressure uneven from one side to another.

b) Snowblower is not well adjusted.


CORRECTIVE ACTIONS :

a) Verify and adjust tire pressure:

Front tires: 14 to 15 psi / Rear tires: 7 to 8 psi

b) Loosen male hitch on snowblower. Place a shim (ex: piece of wood approx. 2'' thick) under the lower side of snowblower which needs to be levelled. Re-tighten bolts.
